Did we have to rush to the line with 20 seconds on the play clock there? I'm happy we scored, but not happy there's so much time left that doesn't need to be there.
Maybe someone should teach him to use the backboard. I've always thought it weird how growing up it was taught to use the backboard, but in the higher levels it feels like a pure nothing but net shot is the only acceptable way to make a shot.
Obviously now knowing we missed it makes it easier to say this, but even before I was ok with going for it. I mean we are 2-3 we have no expectations to compete for the division or even really go to the playoffs so just let loose a little and take some chances. We had some good momentum and they are a bad defense(in theory).
I hated everything about that throw. Field in front of you is wide open, he's covered, and even if he's not there would have left plenty of time for the raiders to at least tie.
Part of me is thinking the coaching staff doesn't trust the offense. Trying too much cute stuff, throwing short on third and long, heck throwing short on third and 3, and just not even really attempting anything beyond 5 yards so far in this game.
